GOP candidate Vivek Ramaswamy has vowed to “gut” the system for H-1B temporary worker visas if he wins the White House.
It’s the very system he’s used in the past to hire high-skilled foreign workers for the pharma company that built much of his wealth.
From 2018 through 2023, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services approved 29 applications for Ramaswamy’s former company, Roivant Sciences, to hire employees under H-1B visas, which allow U.S. companies to employ foreign workers in tech and other specialized jobs.
Yet, the H-1B system is “bad for everyone involved,” Ramaswamy told POLITICO.
“The lottery system needs to be replaced by actual meritocratic admission. It’s a form of indentured servitude that only accrues to the benefit of the company that sponsored an H-1B immigrant. I’ll gut it,” he said in a statement, adding that the U.S. needs to eliminate chain-based migration.
“The people who come as family members are not the meritocratic immigrants who make skills-based contributions to this country.”

I believe involving RamaSleazy is a move by Trump’s handler, Jared Kushner. Who is Jared’s handler putting him up to it? I’m not certain.
Do you have data? I think L1 Visas are cheap labor, not H1Bs. H1Bs can go to any other job in the U.S. L1s are trapped in their job, they would need to upgrade to an H1B to go somewhere else. And I think L1s are unlimited.
Yup- how many times did President Trump use bankruptcy laws???
If he is making ammends for past wrongdoings...does he get credit ? Just asking.

Short answer.
No.
Long answer
Hes talking thats it. Until theres some rightdoings, not just no,, h3ll no.
Just answering.
“He’s a leftist, globalist leech who wants to say anything MAGA wants to hear.”
That is exactly what I think he’s doing. Saying what he has to say in order to fool enough folks into voting for him. No sale.
“He or anyone else would be a fool to not take advantage of a program offered by the government. Do you take income tax deductions? Do you agree with the nature of everyone of them? Did you take COVID payments? If the government is handing out free money, I would be a fool to not take everything to which I was legitimately entitled, even if I otherwise disagree with the program.”
Are you running for the highest office in the land? If not, it has nothing to do with what “you” would or wouldn’t do. It’s about integrity, ethics and not being a “do as I say, not as I do” politician, like most, if not all, RINOs and leftist Democrats always are. The last thing America needs, especially at this point of our demise, is yet another damned hypocrite elitist that espouses that “rules for thee but not for me” BS. It’s not complicated.
No, the lottery system doesn't need to be replaced.
It needs to terminated and totally eliminated!
No more H1B or any other type of work visa programs
which are nothing but a sneaky way to eliminate
American workers from the job market.
“What are we going to do since the U.S. doesn’t produce enough qualified engineers?”
The U.S. has 3.5 million under- or unemployed STEM-educated workers.
“H1Bs can go to any other job in the U.S. “
An H1B worker needs to be sponsored by an employer - in fact, it’s the employer not the worker who holds the visa.
He’s great at saying what folks want to hear but his actions never match up with what he says. He’s a con man and a fraud from top to bottom
I don’t trust Hinduswami.
And those under & unemployed (parent) engineers are telling their kids to avoid engineering like the plague.
Tech employment has cratered. Layoffs? EVERY temporary worker should be shipped home first.
If these job thieves are such outstanding talent, why aren’t Modi’s ministers moving heaven & earth to to get them to return home?
All of these work visa programs are a scam to depress wages & steal US jobs.
Oh, I think Modi and people like him are doing what they can to bring those people back, or stop them from leaving.
Forget this person. He is worthless.
“Oh, I think Modi and people like him are doing what they can to bring those people back, or stop them from leaving.”
Modi bitched and moaned whenever the Trump administration made the slightest increase to H1B restrictions.
Start producing more qualified engineers.
Pay to train them. Pay to keep them. They are valuable.
And stop importing H1B engineers. Most of them are literally indentured servants working for the agencies that supply them. Such contracts are legal and enforceable in India.
Corporations must be forced to give up their demands to have disposable slave engineers for less than the cost of a convenience store clerk.
He also want to increase immigration to steal more jobs from Americans.
I mean, if it takes irony to finally pull up that drawbridge, so be it.
Yes.
And then re-hire the white males laid off to make room for them.
